It’s the time of year to pause and reflect, to be thankful and plan for the year to come. In that spirit I want to thank everyone here at the NFTA for the dedication and hard work we’ve seen throughout 2011. It’s been a year of challenges and change, but the strength I’ve seen across the Authority continues to be inspiring. My personal New Year’s resolution is to work at the high level you all have set. This is also a time for hope, so let me wish you and your family a very safe, and a very happy holiday season.

Thank you to Saint Mary of the Lake in Hamburg for
participating in NFTA's Sounds of the Season
on December 14 at the MTC bus terminal.
What a great job. For the rest of our Sounds of the Season schedule . . .

Allegiant has started selling tickets for new, nonstop jet service between Niagara Falls and Orlando, Fla., via Orlando Sanford International Airport. Flights begin Feb. 15, 2012. Allegiant came to Niagara Falls in September and their first flight – to Tampa – doesn’t even take off until Dec. 15. As a result of such a positive response to the Tampa flights, they decided to expand.
